St. Peter’s Free Clinic is now a Certified Application Counselor Designated Organization!

What does a CAC organization do?

As a CAC organization, staff and volunteers help people understand, apply, and enroll for health coverage through the Marketplace. The organization must agree to make sure that designated individuals complete required training, and that they comply with privacy and security laws, and other program standards.

The organization must: 

1. have processes in place to screen staff to make sure that they protect consumer information
2. engage in services that position us to help those served with health coverage issues
3. have experience providing social services to the community

As of December 1, 2013, the clinic has three Certified Application Counselors: Connie, a volunteer and myself. We are now taking appointments to help people access healthcare coverage.

We are so excited to be part of this process.

If you are not part of the solution - you are part of the problem.
